NIGP 61673: Recycled Office Supplies, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 61673 Recycled Office Supplies, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure core office supplies — pens, pencils, staplers, paper clips, binders, folders, notepads, sticky notes, tape, markers, and related consumables — for departmental use, warehouse restocking, and classroom supply. Recent solicitations show minimal environmental or sustainability differentiation in actual purchasing; jurisdictions are buying standard commercial office supplies on an as-needed basis, with pricing, delivery speed, catalog breadth, and fill-rate performance as the dominant evaluation criteria. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments (Lompoc, Pasadena), county governments (Bernalillo County, Escambia County, Dougherty County), and school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Marion County Schools, Dougherty County Schools). School districts dominate the recent activity, using classroom and office supply contracts to support multiple schools and central warehouses through standing agreements.

Recent solicitations span California, Florida, Georgia, and New Mexico. The City of Lompoc issued RFQ #2025-RFQ-023DW for 42 line items of basic office supplies with an October 24, 2025 response deadline; Pinellas County Schools posted ITB 26HO014 for 104 classroom and office supply line items (36 paper supplies, 68 other office items) with a $330,000 annual estimated value and April 30, 2026 deadline; the City of Pasadena's Parks Department solicited IFB 2025IFBMS0055 for 63 office supply items with online ordering and two-day delivery requirements; Marion County Schools issued ITB #4151AM for 194 line items of classroom supplies covering a ten-month period starting March 1, 2026; and Bernalillo County posted RFB 34-26 for broad-based office supplies across 135 delivery locations with an estimated $316,000 annual spend, a five-year term with renewal option, and a February 20, 2026 deadline. Dougherty County Schools and Escambia County also solicited office and departmental supplies during this period, with multiple renewals and extensions on awards.
